Financial Literacy For Everyone

It is a shame that our education system can graduate high schoolers, college graduates, post graduate students, and even rocket scientists without introducing them to the most basic aspects of the world of finance. Money touches everyone's life from an early age and for their entire lives. And managing money can get very complicated. So rather than allowing the public to fumble through financial matters, Patrick Mansell has written, in the simplest of terms, the basic tenets of financial literacy. A little knowledge in the area of finance can be worth many thousands of dollars over a person's lifetime - perhaps even millions of dollars. So rather than continuing to fumble through the world fo finance and making costly mistakes, this book will enlighten the reader and demonstrate that the world of finance is not as mysterious as many people imagine.

Financial Literacy For Everyone explores subjects that consumers encounter everyday: banking, credit and credit scoring, simple financial statements, budgeting, and saving and investing. And for anyone who wants to dig a little deeper there is great information on loan amortization, and home financing. Anyone at any level of knowledge in finance will learn from this boot, and those who're really challenged in that area will learn that the mysteries of financial management are no so mysterious after all.
